the team. They are two fantastic drivers, both who are capable of
winning the championship. It has certainly been a tough winter for HVM,
but as a team we are more determined than ever and we expect to have a
very strong season. Champ Car's direction is very positive and this is
the series in which HVM has always been committed. We are excited for
the future."

wanting to return to compete in Champ Car," stated Wirdheim from his
residence in Aylesbury, England." He continued, "I am very pleased to
fight for the championship with HVM because they are one of the most
professional teams in the series. I am confident we will race for wins
from the start. I think Champ Car will suit me as a driver, I've
enjoyed a lot of success in F3000 and the cars are quite similar. I
have been following Champ Car for several years and I can see the
organization is growing stronger every year and I am confident this is
the place to be with some of the most competitive racing in the world."

achieving success in the Danish Touring Car Championship, British
Formula 3 and Formula Ford. "This is a dream come true. Champ Car has
been a goal of mine since I started racing and I can't wait to get
started in Long Beach. I had a very good test with HVM in Sebring. I
was impressed with their teamwork and their communication between cars.
The engineering staff is top-notch and I knew this was the team I
wanted to drive for," commented Bremer. "I may be a Rookie this season,
but I am not new to Champ Car. Coming from Atlantic I know many of the
tracks. I believe my teammate and I will push each other, I am
confidant we will be a strong combination. Thanks to my manager, Rick
Gorne and Champ Car for their hard work."
